Most finance writers use pseudonyms. They delete articles that age poorly. They curate highlight reels and pretend the losses never happened. I've always thought that was cowardly.

Every article I've published on Seeking Alpha is under my real name — Glen Bradford. Every position is disclosed at the time of writing. When I'm wrong, it stays up. When I lose money, I write about it. When I call something correctly, the original article with the original timestamp is right there for anyone to verify.

This is rare in finance. Most “thought leaders” have no skin in the game. They recommend things they don't own. They make predictions with no accountability. I think that's dishonest.

I don't respect people that recommend things they themselves do not own.

Writing publicly forces discipline. It forces you to articulate your thesis clearly enough that others can evaluate it. It creates a permanent record that keeps you honest. And it builds the kind of trust that anonymous newsletter writers can never earn.
